Uncomfortable
Pros:

It was ok

Cons:

I didn’t like the fact that I said I wanted to pay at property instead they carded my car. Then they put me in a handicap room. The furniture is nasty and stained in the room and lobby. The room was muggy, the electric socket by the bed didn’t work. I would never stay there again.

It was comparable to other Holiday Inn Express, but not as clean
Pros:

I only wanted coffee. It was fine

Cons:

A coffee maker in room would have been nice. And sound from above room sounded like lots of children running across floor.

Room wasn’t ready. Couldn’t tell me when it would be. Said it had been quite a day. Got on elevator and door wouldn’t cl
Cons:

Two hour delay past checkin time. Had to sit around . It was 111 outside. Elevator was scary. Door wouldn’t close and made loud noises. Had to keep walkin* up and down three flights of stairs.

Front desk rep was the worst part of my stay.
Pros:

Comfortable Hotel.

Cons:

Older Caucasian woman with intense frowning lip lines who checked me in was so rude. If I hadn't prepaid, I would have just walked out and found another hotel. Also, in 41 years, Ive never had a staff member (same lady), knock on ky door prior to check out (10:50 am for an 11am checkout) and ask if I was still leaving.

I will it be back.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

They were fixing the pipes so there was no running water when I got there, when it came back on it ran dirty water (I took pictures and a video). The elevator makes terrible sounds and jerks like the cable will break any minute.
